Topic: N scale cars in pewter (Read 1137 times)

Some members may be aware of the Autosculpt range of pewter cars made for display purposes and generally in the 1/76 to 1/87 scale range. ( EDIT: Turns out they are 1/92 scale)

Copies of these now seem to be available in 1/145 scale (!) from Librairie Retrorepro in France. Although they come as key rings in over 150 different versions, there is a facility to buy bulk packs of 5, 10 or 20 models without the keyring attachments. Cars are mainly French, but there are British, German, Russian and Italian models in the range drawn from a wide time period. Not all exotic cars either. A lot of ordinary cars in the range. May be of interest for someone.

Well that's a fail. When checking out, site won't accept my UK postcode (neither with nor without a space) and nor is the UK an option on the list of countries. Perhaps they've got the hump over brexit.

EDIT

Well despite check out not completing, I've received confirmation of account creation. So, I'll have another go later.

Thanks Mike. The root of my problem was the Translation plugin in my browser. It was only translating half the countries listed, omitting those it didn't translate. Of course UK was amongst those omitted.

I believe you have to spend a minimum of £25 per order, and while you can specify the scale, the actual models are packed at random. Like in real life, you just see what cars turn up! Most of the cars in this scene from that range. The mounting spigots really help on the hairpin bend.
